Instrument Cluster: Notes
The instrument cluster in the Z4 has a sporty appearance in line with a roadster. The instrument cluster is very compact. The needle instruments are integrated in 2 housing attachments. The two needle instruments for the speedometer and the tachometer are thus the predominant visual features.
The needle instruments for the fuel gauge and the coolant temperature gauge are integrated in the tachometer. The speedometer incorporates an LC display, which shows e.g. the total mileage (odometer), the trip distance (trip odometer), the time, the on-board computer functions and the SIA service interval indicator.
Between the large needle instruments are the indicator and warning lamps and the program and gear display. The program and gear display is only featured in vehicles with automatic transmissions and SMG sequential manual gearboxes.
The instrument cluster is the central gateway in the bus network.
